Methodology
The methodology for America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024 is based on a five-part evaluation:
- The first was a pre-study survey that interviewed HR professionals to identify current and future employee satisfaction drivers.
- The second phase was the main employee survey, which interviewed employees to review employers they were familiar with. The independent study is based on more than 220,000 interviews and more than 1.5 million company reviews collected in 2022 and 2023. During the survey, we collected demographic information from respondents, which we then used to weigh responses from diverse target groups.
- The third phase was an elaborate desk research project in which we collected more than 20 diversity KPIs (e.g., diversity ratio, diversity reviews and information from social media platforms).
- In the fourth phase, we applied a media monitoring project, reviewing all published press of the past 24 months (12/9/2021 – 12/10/2023) of all recognized companies to identify potential legal disputes around the workplace.
- The fifth step was the validation step. We calculated an individual company diversity score based on our scoring model. The best companies in the tiers of 5,000+ employees and 1,000 to 4,999 employees have been recognized as "America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2024."
